I have lost my mind- I tried spinning
So i got the guts to try a spinning class. I really liked it but had to leave after 25 minutes. I have flat feet and have been having an issue (currently awaiting custom made insoles) and my FEET were killing me. I just couldn't do it- only because of that . That was so upsetting to me.
Does anyone else's feet hurt when they do this?

Mine fall asleep. I love it too but thought I was going to die today between the numb crotch and feet. I'm going to get cycling shoes and bike shorts because this is a class I want to keep taking.

Re: I have lost my mind- I tried spinning
my asss didnt hurt as much as I expected and but I could see how the southern regions could take a beating.
But my feet killled, cramping and serious PAIN, I know this is partly my foot issue and I will ask my podiatrist. But is it normal to have some foot pain?
OK- now what are cycling shoes? Will that help?

Re: I have lost my mind- I tried spinning
when you put your foot in the cage, make sure that the ball of your foot is right over the pedal, if you slide your foot all the way up to the front of the cage, the arch of your foot will be taking all the pressure which could lead to your foot going numb... what they don't tell people is that the cage if made to fit a man's size 11 shoe, so if your foot isnt that big, it shouldn't be pushed all the way up into the cage. not sure if that makes sense, but im a certified spin instructor and thats what i tell my students, it raelly takes a lot of the pressure off your arch.

thank you I did have my foot all the way forward. I was thinking that with my size 10s I needed to get them as far in as possible, thinking it would support my foot more.
I was so embarrassed to walk out half way, so now I have to summon up the courage to try it again that way.

Re: I have lost my mind- I tried spinning
hopefully that will help!!! just make sure you tighten the strap that your nice and snug in there!! the balls of your feet are really strong, let them take the pressure.
